The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Bought these Spring of 2012 - hiked quite a bit that summer. LOVED them! This spring.. they started ripping my heels up .. not sure why. I don't know what changed. The shoe looks great - obv wear and tear on the toe.. soles are in great shape and grip like crazy ... but just can't take the heel blisters. Have tried everything .. just got some Leukotape - will try that. I just wanted to be honest and thorough in my review.

Comments about Zamberlan 996 Vioz GT Hiking Boots - Women's:

I bought these to use on a 3 week long hike in May. I thought I would have to spend more time breaking them in - but no - popped em on for a quick hike and NO BLISTERS!! I have used them with hiking socks and with regular socks.. no problem. Wet terrain, scrambled over rocks, hiked in high heat, slogged thru snow.. these boots are great! I have a VERY narrow heel and a sort of wider toe base and these boots fit perfect.(I wear a 9, bought a 9). They are a little heavy but I need that for the pack I will be carrying, and I want the stability of a sturdy boot. I haven't had a problem with sweaty feet, and my socks stayed dry in wet conditions. No blisters is a huge plus. Try em, buy em, and get out there!!

Comments about Zamberlan 996 Vioz GT Hiking Boots - Women's:

I tried these boots on the recommendation of a colleague, and I'm glad that I did! I've had them over 6 months, and hiked through rainforest, alpine forest,beach (don't ask) and coastal mountains in them.

I travel a variety of terrain for my career, and need heavy duty boots - there aren't many of them on the market, so I've had Asolo GTX (2 pairs)for over 5 years. The Zamberlans are actually more comfortable for me; I have a high arch and narrow ankle. For kicks, I put my Asolos on for a short 10 minute walk the other day and was surprised at the difference between the two boots.

If you travel off-trail, these are amazing boots. You can cross shallow streams, and when paired with rain gear you can hike in a down pour. I usually pair them with gaiters to keep "stuff" out of the boot when off trail.

Comments about Zamberlan 996 Vioz GT Hiking Boots - Women's:

I was a bit hesitant to order these without trying them on, since they weren't available to try-on near me, but I absolutely love them! I've had two ankle surgeries, so sturdiness and high ankle support were my main concerns and these boots deliver. I am usually a solid 10 in every kind of shoe, but I got these in a 9.5 and they fit great with the mid-weight red REI socks. They are pretty close to no break-in, and definitely an improvement over the Keens I had which gave me lots of blisters and blue toes.
